There is no link at the Democratic Party website.

I have mixed feelings about the DP thing I guess I'd rather see it abolished than have one innocent person fried but there are still crimes that are so horrific that revenge seems totally appropriate.

There is a shitload of money being spent on 32 and it's plain to see why. This is the equivalent of Citizens United on a state level and it would be a disaster for a state that is still recovering from the Enron/Schwarzeneggar disaster of the early 2000's.

Prop. 32 is 100% about gutting unions. bemildred Oct 2012 #17

Exactly. It's got nothing to do with campaign finance reform. SunSeeker Oct 2012 #20

Prop 39 Iwillnevergiveup Oct 2012 #13

The ballot suggests a significant amount it would likely be spent on schools Brother Buzz Oct 2012 #14

A chunk for schools, a chunk for pre-school, a chunk for debt reduction for 4 years , IIRC. bemildred Oct 2012 #16

I have mixed feelings about 39, but have decided to vote for it. bemildred Oct 2012 #18
